The member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) categorically reject President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke the January 14 order to remove Cuba from the list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.

Former President Joe Biden has publicly recognized what the international community has always known: that Cuba does not sponsor terrorism and has always fought against this scourge in any of its forms. Therefore, this arrogant decision by the president-elect only demonstrates the level of mockery and contempt towards the Latin American and Caribbean peoples.

The world, today, faces the imposition of erratic, abusive, criminal and illegal measures in a totally blatant and unpunished manner by an administration that promotes hatred and provokes profound deprivations for domination purposes.

The Bolivarian Alliance strongly rejects this display of arrogance that intends to cause serious damage to the worthy Cuban people, demands the removal of Cuba from this list made to suit the ideology of imperialism and expresses its absolute solidarity with the firm determination of sovereignty and dignity of this sister nation.
